Epic La Rubia

Epic Cigar's La Rubia ('The Blonde' in Spanish) is a mild-bodied Dominican cigar with an Ecuadorian Connecticut shade wrapper on top of a Mexican San Andres binder and a mixture of Dominican and Nicaraguan filler. This creamy smoke is perfect for any time of day, with friendly notes of peanuts, vanilla bean, coffee and leather. While the strength of this stogie is virtually non-existent, the flavor is undoubtedly huge. You might even say... EPIC.

Cigar Origin

Dominican Republic

Most cigars are manufactured in the Caribbean and Central America.The Dominican Republic is the world's first producer of cigars. Most factories are located in Santiago, in the center of the island, and in close proximity to the tobacco fields grown in the fertile Cibao Valley. While tobacco and cigars have always traditionally been produced in the Dominican Republic, many Cuban cigar makers established in the Dominican Republic after the Cuban communist revolution, elevating the quality of Dominican cigars.

Wrapper

Ecuadorian Connecticut Shade

The wrapper is the last tobacco leaf to be rolled on the cigar, so it is the one the smoker will see.Ecuador is the perfect place to grow wrappers, because it is located on the Equator! And it has rich soils too. The weather conditions, with a nearly permanent cloudy sky, provide a natural shade, protecting the wrapper plants from sunshine and allowing the tobacco to grow thin and light. This climate allows tobacco growers to grow Connecticut-seed wrapper in the shade without shade cloths, resulting in more economical wrapper.

Binder

Mexican San Andres

The binder is a full tobacco leaf that is used to roll the cigar, binding the filler tobaccos together.
